I recently came back to BF3 after a year (previously played BF4), wanting to revisit my favorite game mode, Gun Master. The game remains installed on my desktop since 2012. It’s not the newest hardware, but it still functions: Core i7 870 GTX 560Ti with 8GB DDR3 RAM at 7200RPM and a 1TB HDD. My issue is that GPU usage stays between 5% to 7%, which significantly impacts the frame rate. I’ve updated drivers and confirmed the game’s integrity—everything seems correct. Although the HDD slows things down, other titles like Planetside 2 and Titanfall run smoothly. Are there any solutions or workarounds for this performance problem? Thanks.

Problem with the driver is most probable.

Plus it bothers me when you choose to play Battlefield 4.

He seems to be in trouble and could use some assistance.
